Abstract

Abstract: The current scenario reveals a growing demand for foldable and flexible materials that are well-suited for curved screen surfaces in wearable devices and acclimatize with the environment. The development of eco-designed electronic devices for energy storage, optoelectronics and more applications employing biopolymers or carbon-based substrates was preferred on account of being economical and readily available. The present study explores the recent trends in flexible, transient and green electronics engaging biopolymers like cellulose, chitosan, silk, paper and others to substitute silicon-based electronics. Nanoparticles blended with eco-friendly substrates, nanofibers and nano-sized natural polymers are observed to receive attention in soft electronics and robotics. The study mentions recent patents in this sector and the analysis based on the SCOPUS database highlights the leading authors, countries and keywords which are widely used in this research.
